Richard Singh Senior VP of WW Sales at OCZ

OCZ Technology Group, Inc. announces that Richard Singh has been appointed the Company’s new Senior Vice President of Sales, overseeing global sales and business development of the complete line of OCZ channel and enterprise solutions.

 Mr. Singh previously served as the Senior VP of Sales during the company’s rapid expansion in 2005 to 2007 when the company had 80% CAGR and first went public in London. Thus, while he is quite accustomed to a high growth environment, his background is now particularly well-suited to OCZ’s current SSD Enterprise initiatives as he has previous storage industry experience from working at Samsung’s storage division, Toshiba Disk Products, and Seagate Technology. As the newly appointed VP of Worldwide Sales, Mr. Singh is responsible for managing the worldwide sales team as well as directly contributing to the company’s fast paced growth in the Enterprise and Channel SSD market.

"Richard will be a great asset to our team as we continue our rapid growth worldwide. He has a proven track record of accelerating sales growth and the storage experience to enhance OCZ’s position as a leader in the SSD space," said Ryan Petersen, CEO of the OCZ Technology Group. "We are excited to have Richard rejoin our team, where his experience and leadership will further establish OCZ as a premier provider of memory, SSDs, and power management solutions to the channel and enterprise markets."

"There is a tremendous growth opportunity ahead for OCZ’s solid state drive solutions," said Mr. Singh. "OCZ has always focused on innovative and premium solutions and I am thrilled to rejoin the team as we continue to deliver the best products and service to our expanding worldwide customer base."

In addition to his previous role as Senior Vice President of World Wide Sales at OCZ, Mr. Singh has more than 20 years’ experience in sales and sales management positions in high tech companies such as Corsair Memory Inc., Castlewood, OnStream Data, Samsung, Toshiba, Priam and Seagate Technology.
